Cashless & Contactless Payments for EV Charging

There are a variety of cashless payment options available. Credit and debit cards are known as the more traditional forms of cashless payment. CCV can provide the technology so that your customers can use either chip-and-pin or contactless payments on the go. 

Smartphone wallets, such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, and Samsung Pay are increasingly used all around the world — meaning customers can merely carry their phones when they go out and about. CCV will equip your EV charging station with NFC (Near Field Communication) capability, allowing contactless payments to be made from mobile devices. 

Finally, EV drivers can also use eCommerce platforms — via apps or mobile websites. They can simply log onto your web platform, pay for their charge at that location, and drive away with a full battery. Whichever method(s) of contactless or cashless payment you require, CCV has got you covered.

Cash is becoming less and less popular in many countries around the world. Electric vehicle drivers expect to pop into a charging station, tap to pay, charge their battery, and carry on with their day. Reducing the payment hassle also makes using an electric vehicle more compelling to drivers. A report by Mastercard revealed that 50% of all card payments in Europe were contactless. With this number increasing year-on-year, it’s essential for EV charging businesses to offer modern payment options. 

CCV will provide you with the technical knowhow, hardware, software, and support to implement cashless payments at your EV charge points.

CCV can work with any EV charging business model, even if you currently operate with a closed subscription scheme. Our technology can be applied to open up the charging infrastructure to ad-hoc cashless payments, or it can be applied to give you a hybrid approach. We can use tokenisation to create a holistic payment environment — useful for service station and fuel brands — meaning you can provide compelling offers to members and regular customers.

Whatever business model works for your EV charging brand, we’re here to help deliver a tailored payment solution that works for your customers.

We understand the EV charging industry, and we know the challenges and opportunities that you face in expanding your business in this sphere. As charging infrastructure rolls out across Europe, our role is to make payments happen. Our cutting-edge self-service payment technology can be customised for your needs, and is always backed up by robust and secure software. 

In the background, CCV technology will give you access to real-time data — which helps you optimise operations and monitor market changes. We can also help you navigate fluctuating energy prices by applying dynamic pricing (if required). Most importantly, our solutions are reliable and user-friendly, meaning your customers will be happy to return time and time again.
